Services
Chai Research provides a platform for language models, similar to how YouTube operates for video creators. The Chai platform serves 1 million daily users, facilitating over 100 million conversations per month, which translates to around 1 billion messages exchanged monthly. Key features of the platform include hosting surveys and competitions, and offering unlimited messaging during specific weekends. Moreover, users are limited to 70 messages every 3 hours without an active subscription or trial. Chai also provides compute resources worth over $16 million to power the platform.
User and Creator Ecosystem
The Chai Platform Ecosystem boasts over 500,000 ChatAI creators and more than 4 million ChatAI users. As of February 1, 2024, the platform reports an average of 4 million monthly active users and 600,000 to 800,000 daily active users. Chai Research has built a robust community where users can engage with language models, and creators can develop and deploy their models. The ecosystem supports a high level of interaction, demonstrating significant user engagement and creator participation.
Chaiverse Developer Platform
Chaiverse, Chai Research's developer platform, enables LLM developers to submit models directly into the Chai ecosystem. This platform supports architectures like LLaMa and Mistral for training models and facilitates easy deployment with just 4 lines of code. To date, Chaiverse has paid out $132,000 in cash prizes, with a total prize pool of $1 million. The competition model will shift to profit-sharing once the prize pool has been fully paid out. Chaiverse also runs regular bug bounties to encourage quality contributions and knowledge sharing among developers.
Model Training and Performance
Chai Research has been training and deploying proprietary models since 2022. These in-house models achieve a 68% improvement in engagement over GPT3.5. Over 10 trillion parameters have been deployed, supporting more than 100 billion messages to date. Chai’s proprietary dataset includes over 4 billion user-bot messages, reflecting the extensive data collection and model training efforts undertaken by the company.
Location and Infrastructure
Chai Research is located in Palo Alto, CA. The company leverages compute resources valued at over $16 million to support its extensive platform operations. With a goal of building a user and creator-friendly platform for language models, Chai continues to invest in infrastructure to maintain and enhance the performance and accessibility of its services.
